Request

Is there a sectioning procedure available for the front lower rail?

Response

Honda does not have a sectioning procedure for the front lower rail.

Per the 2016 CR-V body repair manual: “The front portion of the side frame CAN NOT be sectioned in accordance with Parts Sectioning(Cut and Joint) Guidelines.”

A tool that may be used to find out if the vehicle maker has a partial replacement or sectioning procedure is the I-CAR developed OEM Partial Part Replacement Search.
